An Archer. Anatomical Figure. Écorché 17th century

This 17th-century anatomical figure, known as "An Archer," exemplifies the écorché style. The sculpture, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a male figure with exposed musculature, emphasizing anatomical precision and the artist's understanding of human anatomy. The dynamic pose, with the figure in the act of drawing back a bow (though the bow is missing), highlights the intricate details of the muscles and tendons. The sculpture's stark, metallic finish further amplifies the anatomical emphasis, making it a compelling study of human form.
